PA-445 Passive Device LED status

KyungjunCHOE — Fri, 26 Jul 2024 06:28:19 GMT

Dear Team,

I noticed something unusual during my testing.

PA-445 was configured as HA.

The front LED of typical firewall hardware is orange when in the passive state.

However, for the PA-445, both Active and Passive Devices are green.

As a result, active and passive cannot be distinguished visually.

The PAN-OS version in use is 11.1.4.

If anyone have any helpful information about this symptom, please let us know.

I'll attach my PA-445 front panel.

There is no LED for HA. From top to bottom, there are...

-Power

-Status

-Alarm

If it's normal status, LED should be GREEN, GREEN, and OFF even it's active state or passive state.

Note: Status(LED in the middle) might be yellow/red when fw is booting up.

Thank you for your reply!!

But according to the URL below, the LED of the Passive PA-445 should display yellow.

Please note

I'm thinking document is wrong. As you can see, there is no LED for HA.

OR do you mean you have 4th LED on your PA-445 (differ from my PA-445?)

I completely understand... I think it's just an error in the document.

Your answer was very helpful.
